Liverpool are ready to battle it out with other top clubs for the services of 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti.
According to Marca via Paisley Gates, Liverpool are keen on adding another midfielder to their mix and they have their eyes set on Marco Verratti. The Merseyside club are interested in acquiring the services of the 30-year-old Italian midfielder and are ready to compete with other clubs for his signatures.
Verratti came through the ranks at Pescara before joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2012. He was a statement signing by the French club after their Qatar-backed takeover.
The Italian international has been a part of PSG for more than a decade now and has been involved in a total of 416 matches. He has scored 11 goals and has contributed with 61 assists during his time in France.
Verratti’s contract with the Ligue 1 champions runs until the summer of 2026. While there are still three years left on his deal, he could be on his way out in the ongoing window. According to the report, PSG are ready to negotiate his departure and have set a price tag of €70 million on the Italian international.
With PSG ready to sell, Liverpool have emerged as one of the top candidates for his services. While there is interest from the Saudi Pro League clubs as well as Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, the Merseyside club are ready to battle it out for his signatures.
The 30-year-old is still keen on continuing in Europe and has no intentions of accepting an offer from the Middle East. As a result, Liverpool are well and truly in the race for his services.
The Merseyside club have already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But, their midfield overhaul is far from complete. Jurgen Klopp’s team are all set to lose out on Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. The duo is all set to join Saudi Pro League clubs.
As a result, the German manager is looking for an experienced midfielder who can lead by example and he believes, the 30-year-old could do wonders for his team. The Italian international could be an ideal replacement for their skipper Jordan Henderson. And, they are ready to go all out for his services.
